\nAh, Jesus, two years ago I switched to the Acuvue Oasys 2-week contacts, and they were really light and insubstantial and that made them more comfortable in-eye but more difficult to handle.
I put a new one in yesterday, then later coming out of the shower where I got water in the\u2026 eyeball cavity it rolled back around the eye and it’s been there ever since?
Like normally with contacts it would roll back out within 30 mins. With these last time I thought I had lost it, put another one in, but then at night after I’d removed it the old one came out.
\u2026but that was like a week-old one, halfway through useful life and a bit harder and more worn, this one was still fresh and saline-saturated. I can feel it getting more of an irritant in there, hopefully it irritates it into being ejected in a day or two because I have no idea what else to do. Shout-out to medical device safety infrastructure thick enough I’m confident that something this easy to happen won’t permanently damage my eye, I guess.
There are eye flush kits that basically boil down to “Fill tube with water, tip head back, flush into eyeball, tip head forwards, drain out of eyeball”. But just flood the eyeball with water.
Even better, it sounds like yours are the cheap soft kind so you don’t care about salvaging the $250 special contact lens.
Yeah, I tried flushing, and then getting in the shower for a steady inflow, I can feel it in there but I think it vacuum-sealed when it was like 2 hours out of the blister and really supple, I notice it more now than the vague pressure it was last night so hopefully as it hardens the seal breaks.
Comforting myself that if contacts could just float back there and destroy your eye I would’ve heard about it before, but this really woulda been a problem back before the anxiety turned off
